The Albion under-18 midfielder has been recognised for his terrific long-range strike.

Brighton & Hove Albion under-18 midfielder Luis Garcia has been nominated for the 2016/17 League Football Education Goal of the Season Award.

The six-goal shortlist is comprised of each Goal of the Month award winner from across the Under-18 Academy League season, with Garcia being recognised for his ambitious strike against West Bromwich Albion.

On a positive afternoon for the Seagulls, which ended in a 7-1 victory for Ian Buckman’s side, the Spaniard found the back of the net with an audacious lob, after picking up the ball inside his own half.
